posite observation was' that which was made by Mr. Sergeant-OisLow, who wished to know what the petitioners meant by religious liberty ; because, though no one could be a greater friend than himself to freedom in opinion, ho had yet to learn how the question of religious liberty could bear upon allowing licence to undermine with impunity the very foundations of all religion and public morals. . This we consider to be the truest light in which the laws against blasphemy can be regarded ; they are no infringement upon religious freedom, because they go to protect the very existence of religious feeling ; tole ration► is designed for those who entertain conscientious differences of opinion, not for those who have no con ,eience at all :—fbr those who adopt peculiar religious tenets—nbt for those who reject and vilify all religion. In fact, if the legislature of any country think it ne cessary to acknowledge any religion whatever as part of the Constitution, they must, in consistency, enact and enforce laws for the preservation of that part of the Constitution as well as any other. It would be clearly a contradiction, for instance, to acknowledge a King, and yet not make treason against him a crime :—in the same way it would be an equal inconsistency to acknowledge a religion, and not punish those who openly revile and attack it. When the Legislature shall discard the Christian religion from being an integral part of the Coustittition, (with every part of which'. it - now exists, mixed up in . the most inseparable manner), then, and not before, it will be consistent to repeal the laws against biasphembus attacks upon that religion. Blasphemy in a political sense, consists not in any theological offence, but simply in an abusive attack upon that which the law defines to be the religion of the State. We have much pleasure in inserting the following letter from one of the Officers about to proceed into the Interior of Africa, whose journey, from the me lancholy fate of almost all that have preceded them, must be viewed by all the friends of humanity, as well 4 `; of science, with the deepest interest : " His Majesty's ship Brazen, off Badsgry, Nov. 29, 1625. We have just succeeded in obtaining permission, from the King of Batlagry, to pass through his territories to Eyo, a friendly motion, to whom he pays tribute, about nine days journey to the earthward of him, to whose King a messenger has been die- P atc hed to give notice of our approach. Eyo is a commercial cation of considerable consequence, being the channel of com- T4ltoication between Haoussa and Soudan with the sea coast, mod, as it is frequently traversed by Moorish traders from those countries in the interior, I am uncommonly sanguine as to , the ile ceoc of our o'oject in penetrating to those countries. The dis tance to Haoussa, not including stoppages, is about thirty-three days, through Eyo ; from thence to Tapa, a Mendly power to the northward, is about nine days ; thence to Nyffee, nine ; 11, ffec, to . the Great River, five, and thence to Haoussa three lore, according to the estimate made by the King of Benin. kr. Dickson was sent from Whydah, as we passed it on our way to this place, to Abomy, to esk permission of the King of Da homey for pass throughlsje dominions ; but ,as we have sue ,led in opening a road from hence, he has since been recalled, and will follow us, unless any good fortune should get the better of the jealous suspicion, with. which strangers have hitherto been watched by the Dahoruiane, who have always evinced the ilconge,t aversion to any thing like the present intercourse with the interior. ." The path by Eyo I look upon, on the other bawl, as pro ll'ißirtg the most bzneficial results to future enterprize and Ipecu. labor, if we can o'nee clear the road for putting it in practice—it is the most direct, and, the only communication at this moment 110 ' 1 43 the coast, and I feel, in pursuit of such an object, all the enthusiasm I could desire to carry us through the undertaking. We land this evening, and as soon as we can arrange our car t4r*, which will take two or tkree days, we shall commence "4 march towards Eyo. On our arrival at that place we ex p2et to be able to procure horses, &c. there being none on the ' l w, our first mode of conveyance from the beach being by ham v4ocks, carried by the natives who go along at the pace of nearly ti!fe knots an hour. " The rain having ceased upwards of two months, we are in Ule best season for commencing our operations, and I hope we DWI contrive to get housed Ivell, towards Soudan, before they r eappear on the coast. We are chiefly. indebted to Mr. Houtson's i nformation and influence with the King of Badagry for this open 'dg from the beach, the gentleman who was about to forward Bel -7541 from Benin, where he bad the misfortune to perish in the at tornpt. Iloutson has been extremely kind and attentive in for warding the present mission. You will hear from us as we advance, 411 d as a rnan-of-war is ordered to keep up communication by call ing frequently at Batlagry, I hope our opportunities will not be so ra re as Lfirst supposed. At this moment I can hardly explain to You how much I feel overjoyed, at being on the eve of putting my foot on shore: I never was 'better in my life, and when the mind -and b o dy go hand in hand, climate is of, very little avail." Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Duke of Dit 'voßsiztnE had an interview with Mr. Secretary FANNING, at the Foreign Office, which lasted about ' 4 alf an h our , to ma k e arrangements for his Grace's Embassy to the Emperor NICHOLAS at St. Peters burgh.

Pe ruvian declined to 27+ ; Colombian to 402.41 ; and Spanish to 7i ; and in Shares nothing was doing. CITY, Twelce o' Clock. Consols opened this morning at79i for the Account; soon after the Market improved, and Consols reached 79k, but a re-action took place, and the Market be came worse, when Consols lowered to 79k. At that moment an eminent Broker appeared in the Market, and purchased £lOO,OOO at 79k, which caused a rise again in Consols to 79ii, at which price they now may be quoted, with a Market looking up. In New Scrip a great deal is doing this morning, which has im proved, and is in demand ;it may be quoted at to 1 per cent. premium. The French Papers, arrived this morning, in their private letters from Madrid of the 6th April, state by , accounts from Algesiras, that the garrison of Gibral tar is receiving considerable reinforcements. A private letter from Lisbon of the 31st March states, that on the arrival of dispatches from England, a Proclamation was issued on the 27th, and orders were given to establish a Cordon Sanilaire on the coast of Portugal, between Penupe and Algarves. This cordon is to be strengthened by the maritime force of England.

We must not omit to mention a very important and sudden change in the price of " Poyais Bonds," a Bond of 1001. was sold to-day for five shillings, which is a rise in value of 100 per cent. ; the last price being half-a-crown a hundred ! 'We have made the most diligent inquiry to ascertain the causes which have led to this alteration, but regret to state that our diligence has not been crowned with success. Half-past Two. Since the above account, Consols have fallen to 79k, in consequence of a large sale. THE CHURCH. The Bishop of bovvii and Com Non preichea' a moo improasirt Sermon on Snnday morning, at St. Covent-garden, for the benefit of the National Schools a that Parish, and of St. Martin's. The Learned Prelate took his text from the Sd Epistle of John, 2d, 3d, and 4th verses. 01.1, -- " Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper, " and be in health even as thy Soul prospereth : For I rejoiced •' greatly when the Brethren came and testified of the Truth that "is in thee, even as thou walkest in the Truth. I have no greater " joy than to hear that my Children walk in Truth." The principal object of the discourse was to enforce the Doctrine of the Incarnation and Divine Nature of our Saviour, as so clearly l aid down in the writings of St. John ; and to prove the happy influence of true belief in there essential points on individuals and society. The application of the text to the objects. of the Charity was easy and natural.—Bishop plant is an eloquent and persuasive Preacher; his apostolieal appearance produces a strong impres lion in his favour, and the soundness of his doctrine and the power" of his arguments carry his Hearers along with him, in a remark able manner, to the conclusions he wishes to arrive at.

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE, We understand that Mr. AIRY, a celebrated Ma thematician a Cambridge, associated with several other Philosophers, are about to undertake an 'experi mental investigation in some of our deeper Mines, with a view to obtain a more accurate knowledge of the density of the earth than has been hitherto acquired. A Patent has been lately taken out for converting Iron into Steel, by the operation of carburetted hydro gen gas (gas light). In this case the carbon of the gas is supposed to combine with the iron.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCERY, WESTMINSTER—(Tntoi DAT.) IN THE MATTER OF POMROY, A BANKRUPT. • Mr. WILLIAMS appeared in Court, and stated, that in this matter an issue had been directed by his Ho nour, to try the validity of the act of bankruptcy of Mr. Pomroy. The issue went: to trial in Devonshire, and the Counsel on the other side, learning that a witness under examination cotird,nottjak - tO the petitioning creditor's debt (amountn4to iipwards of 2,0001.) ex cept from books which Werq Court, adroitly ob jected to the witness giving elidence of the debt, which objection the Court, On being pressed, allowed. — The trial of the point, theref ore , w hi c h this Court meant to be tried, - had been entirely defeated. The result was, that he (Mr. \V.) was .under the necessity of praying his Honour to have 'the goodness to apply for the Learned Judge's ifotes, who tried the issue, that proceedings for a new trial might be adopted.— Mr. Williams was not conversant with the practice of this Court, but he believed his client s wou ld be under the necessity of presenting a petition, laraying for a new trial, the matters in dispute being in bankruptcy. His HoNoun observed that; a petition would have to be presented, and Mr. Williams" client would do well to present it, praying alternelkfy; that the Court would order a new trial, or makelitie decree as origin ally asked for ; and upon the fact,. as had now been stated, being proved, the Court would not grant a new trial, but would act as it should think fit, without any regard whatever to the verdict obtained upon a point, raised evidently to defeat the intention of this Court.

Yesterday evening a Coroner's Inqnest was held on the body of a gentleman of the name of BUZNNAND, belonging to a mercantile house in Liverpool, who cut his throat on Sunday last at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-Garden where he had re sided for upwards of a month.

The surgeon whoattendod him said, that be found him quite speechless; but on obtaining pen, ink, and paper, he wrote a letter, of which the following is a copy " I had not the smallest cause for committing this dreadful act. How it happened I know not ; but I must have done it, and on, the easy chair—Llow I came to have an old razor in my hand to stave there really looks suspicious, but to cut my throat it was not likely.

Mr. PELDY, who recently appeared at this Theatre in the character of Hamlet, under took the arduous part of Lucius Junius. • Nis representation of it certainly did not come up to what we had expected after see ing him in Hamlet : nevertheless he was highly respectable. After he had thrown off the assumed character of the idiot, the thought of revenging his country's wrongs appeared to animate him ; and although his oration over the dead body of Lucretia was not what we should have altogether wished it to have been, still the interview with and conderrination of Titus, showed that the actor had redeeming qualities. The conclusion, whe re he gives the signal for the execution of his son Titus, was admira ble; and the curtain fell amidst the enthusiastic applause of the audience. At the conclusion of the play, Mr. Mercer (we believe) cams forward to announce the performance for the following evening; but the loud applause and repeated calls for Mr. Pelby were au great, that he could notobtaiu a hearing. The overture to the ballet then commenced, and the curtain rose for its performance ; but the call for Mr. Pelby became again so loud and universal, that at length Mr. Wallack came forward, and, after in vain attempting to be heard, was about to retire, when silence being partially restored, he turned round and said—" Ladies and Gentlemen, am I to understand that it is your wish that Mr. Pelby should appear before you ?" Ile was answered by loud cries of " Yes, yes," and applause. Mr. Wellack then retired, and shortly after returned and claimed the indulgence of the audience to allow the billet tO - lireee6d; that, at the Conclusion of it, Mr. Pelby would be ready to 441 their call. With this the audience were esti:died, and the ballet went on; but at its conclusion Mr. Pelby did not make his promised appear. ance; nevertheless all passed off quietly until the curtain rose for the farce, and Mr. Horne and Mr. J. Russell made their appear. ance, when considerable tumult arose, and loud cries for Mr. Pelby again were heard. Shortly after which Mr. Pelby appeared, and addressed the audience in the following words • " Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an honour which I really did not expect, and allow me again to repeat to you the sense of gra titude I feel for the manner in which I have been received in this country. If it is your wish that I should again appear before you, (cries of " yes, yes," " bravo," and.loud applause), then I must tell you that is a question which rests entirely with the managers If they are willing that I should do so, I assure you most sincerely that nothing would give me greeter pleasure." Mr. Pelby then retired amidst much applause, and the fares proceeded. MOVING PANORAMA, ST. MARTIN'S-LANE. Of this very ingenious specimen of the illusive power of the pencil, in the panoramic province of the graphic art, we should have much to say did our space permit. At present we can only observe, that the fourteen different Views it pictures to us are executed with very considerable skill ; that its eminent English anti Greek Artists, on a surface consisting of 20,000 square feet, presenting successively more than 10,000 figures, have exercised their talents most effectively ; and that we find it difficult to conceive how more animated and impressive represtit tation of the " Defeat of the Turks by the Greeks," and tlet " Storming of Seringapatam," could have been produced by the powers of painting, than those we have witnessed at this Exhi. bition.
